Resilience Mandate: Capital Markets amidst Economic & Political Uncertainty

The Resilience Mandate: Capital Markets amidst Economic and Political Uncertainty

The 10th New Zealand Capital Market Symposium, hosted by the AUT Centre for Financial Research (ACFR) at Auckland University of Technology (AUT), brings together leading finance industry experts and academics to address the complexities of a shifting global economic landscape.

As we enter 2026, the financial sector faces a convergence of persistent inflation, significant economic policy shifts, and heightened geopolitical risks. This year’s Symposium explores the impact of these global risks on market stability, investment strategies, and the broader New Zealand capital markets.

Join us for insightful presentations from distinguished speakers and engaging panel discussions designed to bridge the gap between academic research and industry practice, offering insights on the impacts of global uncertainty on New Zealand capital markets.
